Growing up

In just about one month Cooper will be 2 years old. It is hard to believe it! Kevin and I talk about how wonderful and at the same time, how sad it is that he is no longer our baby. As he was running around the house a few nights ago we looked at each other and were amazed when we realized a year ago he wasn't even walking yet.

This and That
Will at random times look at me and say "Mommy toot!" (for the record Kevin taught him this)
Says he is daddy's little stinker and mommy's honey
Tells us he is going to be 2 (sometimes that is going to be 2 hours....not sure why) and that what he wants for his birthday is monies (I'll let you guess who taught him that)
He loves walking like a penguin- which means stamping his feet up and down quickly
What he calls his grandpas- Grandpa Dougie (my dad) and Pa Bob (Kevin's dad)
Hides in the pillows on the couch and yells- mommy hind you! (which I think means- mommy I'm hiding from you!)
Wakes up some mornings and says he wants a samich (sandwich)
Puts his arms in the air and says Wheeeeeeeeeeeeee! when we go down a hill in the car

Speaking of growing up, with the baby only 11 weeks away from expected arrival we need to transition Cooper to a toddler bed. Here is the bed and the bedding that will go with it. Once we meet Baby #2 and see if we have a boy or girl, I will order coordinating bedding for them. Cooper's room was already decorated with Eric Carle artwork and a large green leaf canopy over his bed, so this bedding was the perfect fit!

My second year of college was not going to be what I had imagined. Come to think of it, my first year wasn't really what I had imagined either, but that's another post. The school I was attending had a "rule" which I saw more as a guideline, that first and second year students needed to live on campus. Entering my first year of college I was assigned to an all girls dorm and matched to live with a girl from Fairbault, MN (Which, by the way is pronounced FAIR BOW... I was reminded a time or two). By the end of the first few weeks I had met a small handful of friends and before Christmas break we had talked about plans to room together that next year.

Christmas break came and past and upon my return from home, was informed that I would need to find a new second year roommate. Well crap. I didn't have enough friends on campus to find a new on-campus living arrangement. I ended the year sweating the situation and picturing myself commuting from my parents home everyd…

I have fond memories of coming home from school and being welcomed by some kind of delicious homemade baked goodie. Whether that be Scotcharoos, homemade bread, Pudding-wiches, banana bread or my favorite, Tootsie Roll bars! Let me know if you try them, super easy and oh so good!

Spread half of the oatmeal mixture in the bottom of a 9x13 ungreased, pan. Melt 6oz chocolate chips with one can sweet and condensed milk. Pour over oatmeal mixture. Use the remaining oatmeal mixture to "sprinkle" over the top. (I use the word sprinkle only because I'm not sure how else to describe taking bits of the mixture and strategically pacing it all over the top.)
Bake at 350 degrees until slightly golden. Try not to eat the ent…
